But I agree with the comments above. Love and money both have their place in life, the absence of former cannot be fulfilled by latter and vice-versa.By the way, when I had first read about this show I thought that the conflict would be because Laila would in love with her daughter's husband. But if she just wanted to make a relation with Anant for his name and money then even being her in-law can work the same way. Being the nice man he is, he obviously won't say no to providing her financial help. It's another thing if Ahana doesn't let her Mommy dearest have her way with her hubby š

It's not a competition. Both money and love have their own places and cannot be compared IMO. Just as money cannot buy love, love too is not enough for a good life. Besides what do we know about love? How can you truly 100% believe that this person who is not related to you will never abandon you? People change and even the greatest lovers become cheaters or abusers. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

The girls grew up in wealth and never had to worry about that part of life. They have no idea what it is like to struggle. Laila is perhaps not a gold digger perse. She is thinking practical. She is thinking in terms of security for her daughter if love seems not to be enough? Love alone won't pay the bills.
Of course, the romantic part of me says too, screw the money.. Go earn your own money and be independent.. But cutting off your daughter in law 100% seems too much..
I think I concur with Rishu and Sweetrogue.
Love has its own place in life and so does money. But like it or not, money does play a very very important part for daily survival. The Tarun guy is dependent on his father's company for a job. There is every possibility that he may lose it if his father decides to fire him so I don't really blame the mother for asking for basic security before getting married.When you're about to get married, its very easy to make big claims of leaving the house with your beloved or not giving a damn about the money and happily living in the streets, but in reality which parent will let their daughter marry into a family that doesn't want her to do anything with their wealth? And how can one be sure Tarun wont leave her or a certain fatigue may not set into their marriage a few years down the line resulting in a fall out? Things can always change and one has to plan everything keeping in mind all possibilities. Living in a romantic world where no one leaves anyone, the river of love never dries up or betrayals don't take place isn't the best way to go. Plus, Saloni will always have her kid to take care of.Not sure if the mother is doing this completely out of love for her daughter or anything else but a complete omission from the family property wont be accepted by anyone.
